An introduction to the basic techniques and functions of mathematics. This course is especially recommended for those students who need to brush up due to a shaky high school preparation or for those who haven't had a mathematics course in several years. Topics include linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, polynomials, and rational functions and their inverses, including the exponential and the logarithm. Note: Not open to students who have passed MATH 150 or above. Not transferable to other Maryland public institutions for college-level credit. Prerequisite: Qualifying score on LRC Algebra placement exam.

An introduction to linear algebra, matrices, set theory, combinatorial analysis and probability theory. Appropriate for students desiring a knowledge of elementary linear algebra and probability theory. Note: Not open to students who have passed MATH 221, STAT 350, STAT 351, STAT 355 or STAT 451. Prerequisite: A qualifying score on the LRC Algebra placement test.

This course provides the mathematical preparation necessary for success in calculus. It also provides preparation for basic physics, computer science and engineering science courses. Topics covered include review of functions and graphing techniques, logarithmic and exponential functions; review of basic right-angle trigonometry followed by an extensive treatment of trigonometric functions, identities and applications to the analytic geometry of the conic sections, applications to two-dimensional vectors and to the geometry of complex numbers. Prerequisites: A suitable score on LRC Algebra placement exam or MATH 106.

Topics of this course include: limits, continuity, the rate of change, derivatives, differentiations formulas for algebraic and trigonometric functions, maxima and minima, integration and computation of areas. Areas and volumes of solids of revolution, applications. Note: Non-science-oriented students interested in calculus should consider MATH 155. Credit will not be given for both MATH 151 and 155. Prerequisite: MATH 150 or a qualifying score on the LRC Calculus Readiness placement test.

Basic ideas of differential and integral calculus, with emphasis on elementary techniques of differentiation and integration with applications are treated in this course. Not recommended for students majoring in mathematics, computer science, engineering, biological or physical sciences. Note: Credit will not be given for both MATH 151 and 155. Prerequisite: A suitable score on the LRC Algebra placement test or MATH 106.

Introduction to convex sets. Theory of linear programming. Applications to transportation and assignment problems. Introduction to graphs with applications to network problems, including shortest route and maximum flow problems. Introduction to game theory. Note: Credit will not be given for both MATH 380 and 381. Prerequisite: MATH 221.
